Secular Souls Lyrics

The day before he suffered
He broke bread into his holy venerable hands
And his eyes lifted up to heaven
Unto God the almighty father
Giving thanks to thee
He blessed, broke
And gave to his disciples, saying
“Take and eat ye all of this
For this is my body
This is my blood”
All who are sinners in life
Fear not of death

From the mount, through the bordering town
They ran and proclaimed his sacred name
No one will understand life
Until the whole world is changed

Oh – how can I give any more?
Gave to you all
Feel the pain – oh
Here – and I feel so alone

Did you know now?
How could you not know?
Keeping track how
Isn’t that so?
If you know now
How could you not know?
Keep on going
Just making it so

An exceptional soul on the face of it
If you’d fallen, less would know
I wouldn’t go with the notion
That you didn’t understand what you’d end up here for
All that changed in our time
Is flesh and bone in a “chlorine free” cover
I don’t want to partake in
Keeping the laws that you didn’t have faith in

It’s international
It’s international
Miles and miles and miles of rational
Hours and hours of confusion

I can’t see why
We’re stretched in time
Done all you say
How’s it changed?
Does no one try
To compromise?
Hoping to save our souls
Keeping the finest for us
Knowing is something we don’t need
We don’t need another savior
Keeping your form by the fireside
Drying your feet with our hair
Thinking it over
Thinking it over
Get tired of all the pain

If it’s over
Time isn’t only time
If it’s under
Are we so sane?
Get us over
Time is our only life
Get us under
Time isn’t time

Innocents over
What’s meant by the secular soul?
Good question evoke
It’s only the time left
People do know
Even if freedom’s their goal

What is this now?
What is this life rising above me?
What is this now?
Taking us all over, rising above me
What is this now?
What is this world rising above me?
What is this now?
What is this crazed sphere rising above me?

Over and over

I fear – Forced intervention
I hear – Heroes and blessings
I fear – Ancients and torture
I hear – Killers and soldiers
I fear – Angels and mortals
I hear – Culls using oceans
I fear – People won’t listen
The vision of Heaven should die here
